Want to add myself to this list. Would love to do this firmware update and not have to pay $60 for a cable I will use once.

Hey guys,
I did the update a while ago but I never notice this problem.

My outside temp reading is off in hot day.
Temp never goes above 70F and it does not update.
I drove from cool SF to hot LA Seven Stock all the way and the temp never change.

Seems like the reading is done when Metra is power up only.
The reading is ok in cool temp. It does show around 40-60F correctly.


Not sure if the sensor or Metra problem.
Any thought?

So i just got my metra kit last week and installed it over the weekend and ive noticed that it definitely looses time about 20 minutes or more overnight so im assuming that i dont have the most up to date firmware... is there anyway to tell what firmware you have? and i think i need to sign up for this cable

Hi

Please add me to the list as well.

BTW, I just spoke to Metra Tech Support, and they offered to update it for me if I'd send them the circuit board in a padded envelope. Obviously this would mean a week or so without climate or stereo, but it might make sense for some people....

Please add me to the list also.

I just had a scary thought ... that cable's been around a lot - what if they release a 1.5 version ...

Thanks.

Hey guys.. just to let you guys know, I'm not centrally organizing the cable anymore. I have no clue where the cable is and who has it. If you guys can figure it out, then feel free to keep sending the cable around.

Hey Guys,

Im looking out for the cable too. Im in Boston.. Hows the list going? If someone can tell me where the cable is, I can organize a new list since rollerbldes seems to have taken his hands off the issue. Can the person with the cable please PM me and I will put together a list?

Thanks!

What's the easiest way to tell what version you have? Heard something about the number on the bottom of the axxcess box?

Cool. Heres the latest list guys. jay_ar1010 will need to send to Prosk8er735..

Prosk8er735 - location??
ZMNRX8 - VA
lokaldisruption - CA
mr80 - CA
Scotchee - MD
tamz273 - MA
mkmike - NY

I figured if ZMNRX8 is in no rush for the cable, maybe he can wait until mr80 is done with it, that way it'll start making its way north instead of going up and down and all over..

Updates on the cable? Who has it?

Also, will anyone be willing to Paypal me some money so we can pitch in for a cable and ill start sending it down? Im not asking for a 50% donation or anything, but if I can gather a decent amount I dont mind paying for the cable, flashing, and starting sending it down.. That way we have 2 cables going around...?

JAR_AR is a retard (JK) He bought my metra kit off of me so there was no need to update the firmware on it because i already had done it.... (I did mine back in MARCH)

I dont know what he was thinking sometimes i think that guy is lost... as far as getting the cable back from him or getting him to respond... you all better PM him a lot because it took him 1 & 1/2 months to pay me for the METRA KIT..... GOOD LUCK getting the cable passed around...
